Adding locally hosted code to GitHub

In diesem Artikel

If your code is stored locally on your computer and is tracked by Git or not tracked by any version control system (VCS), you can import the code to GitHub AE using GitHub CLI or Git commands.

About adding existing source code to GitHub AE

If you have source code stored locally on your computer that is tracked by Git or not tracked by any version control system (VCS), you can add the code to GitHub AE by typing commands in a terminal. You can do this by typing Git commands directly, or by using GitHub CLI.

GitHub CLI is an open source tool for using GitHub from your computer's command line. GitHub CLI can simplify the process of adding an existing project to GitHub AE using the command line. To learn more about GitHub CLI, see "Informationen zur GitHub CLI."

Note: If you're most comfortable with a point-and-click user interface, consider adding your project with GitHub Desktop instead. For more information, see "Hinzufügen eines Repositorys von deinem lokalen Computer zu GitHub Desktop."

If your source code is tracked by a different VCS, such as Mercurial, Subversion, or Team Foundation Version Control, you must convert the repository to Git before you can add the project to GitHub AE.

Initializing a Git repository

If your locally-hosted code isn't tracked by any VCS, the first step is to initialize a Git repository. If your project is already tracked by Git, skip to "Importing a Git repository with the command line."

  1. Öffne TerminalTerminalGit Bash.

  2. Navigate to the root directory of your project.

  3. Initialize the local directory as a Git repository. By default, the initial branch is called main.

    If you’re using Git 2.28.0 or a later version, you can set the name of the default branch using -b.

    git init -b main

    If you’re using Git 2.27.1 or an earlier version, you can set the name of the default branch using git symbolic-ref.

    git init && git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/main

  4. Add the files in your new local repository. This stages them for the first commit.

    $ git add .
# Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. Um das Staging einer Datei aufzuheben, verwende „git reset HEAD IHRE-DATEI“.

  5. Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.

    $ git commit -m "First commit"
# Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. Verwende zum Entfernen dieses Commits und zum Ändern der Datei den Befehl „git reset --soft HEAD~1“ und committe und füge die Datei erneut hinzu.

Importing a Git repository with the command line

After you've initialized a Git repository, you can push the repository to GitHub AE, using either GitHub CLI or Git.

Adding a local repository to GitHub with GitHub CLI

  1. To create a repository for your project on GitHub, use the gh repo create subcommand. When prompted, select Push an existing local repository to GitHub and enter the desired name for your repository. If you want your project to belong to an organization instead of your user account, specify the organization name and project name with organization-name/project-name.

  2. Follow the interactive prompts. To add the remote and push the repository, confirm yes when asked to add the remote and push the commits to the current branch.

  3. Alternatively, to skip all the prompts, supply the path to the repository with the --source flag and pass a visibility flag (--public, --private, or --internal). For example, gh repo create --source=. --public. Specify a remote with the --remote flag. To push your commits, pass the --push flag. For more information about possible arguments, see the GitHub CLI manual.

Adding a local repository to GitHub using Git

  1. Erstelle ein neues Repository auf dein Unternehmen. Initialisiere das neue Repository nicht mit README-, Lizenz- oder gitignore-Dateien, um Fehler zu vermeiden. Du kannst diese Dateien hinzufügen, nachdem dein Projekt per Push an GitHub AE übergeben wurde. Weitere Informationen findest du unter Ein neues Repository erstellen.
  2. At the top of your repository on GitHub AE's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL. Screenshot of the "Quick Setup" header in a repository. Next to the remote URL, an icon of two overlapping squares is highlighted with an orange outline.
  3. Öffne TerminalTerminalGit Bash.
  4. Change the current working directory to your local project.
  5. Add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed. 
    $ git remote add origin <REMOTE_URL>
# Sets the new remote
$ git remote -v
# Verifies the new remote URL
  6. Push the changes in your local repository to dein Unternehmen. 
    $ git push -u origin main
# Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin
